+No (len > size) is not always false. Just look at the comment on the
+previous line (hint: overflow).
+
+E.g. if len == Int32.MaxValue, then
+
+size = (sizeof (MonoString) + ((len + 1) * 2));
+size = 4 + (Int32.MaxValue + 1) * 2;
+size = 4;
+
+so (len > size), i.e. (Int32.MaxValue > 4) is true and an
+OutOfMemoryException is thrown.
